Commenting on the charge Of the
Sacramento Bee that the San Francis
co papers ARE silent on the Kissane sem
sa'i"n for ii consideration, the Evening
Report says:
There is not n leading paper in San
Friucisco that has not fatteneI ON

'r'i P"cii; Railroad aud Spring Valley
Water Company have b.en blel pro-
in~eIy 10y every one Of them. II n poor
g'rI IN san Francisco or vicinity falls by
the wayside her numr is printed in full
IN the biggest and darkest type they
can crowd IN one line, helding column
articles describing in detail the whole
disgusting transaction, and giving tic
mans of every relative from mother to
third cousins, and issuing extras, belch-
ing them out hy n flock of boys on the
streets, nnd writing editorial
on their enterprise.
This being their history, and its be-
ing notorinusly true, their silence upon
tine hI'sgne matter cannot be accounted
for only on the same principle-money:
when the party i'll trouble is poor, they
give them fits and sell extras and max,
money; II rich, the obj ct is sooner
reached"
